​The information here on our website is the result of over thirty years of collecting and researching the fascinating world of Carnival Glass. We have amassed an amazing amount of information and hundreds of pictures, and we are adding to it on almost a daily basis. There is something here for everyone, from beginners to experienced collectors, covering over one hundred years of Carnival Glass production and organised collecting.

Most recently, we have greatly extended our Carnival Glass NetworK, a community of glass enthusiasts and collectors all around the world, with our vibrant and massively popular Facebook Group, and with our FREE monthly ezine.

​​​Carnival Glass NetworK on Facebook is the place to be "at home” and relax with friendly and welcoming Carnival Glass collectors worldwide. A lively place where Carnival is featured, discussed, identified, puzzled over, and appreciated – 24 x 7!

​​Carnival Glass NetworK ezine brings you all the latest discoveries and news as it happens. We look at Carnival Glass through the eyes of the people who made it, marketed it, advertised it and sold it ... and or course, the public who bought it.

​​Bob Smith’s Carnival Tumbler Museum

Bob Smith was our dear friend. He was a dedicated researcher and collector, with whom we worked collaboratively over very many years. Bob built the finest and most comprehensive Carnival Glass tumbler collection in the entire world. The collection was his life, built as a legacy to be kept intact, according to his stated wishes, as a “study / reference” collection for future generations.

In 2011 Bob honoured us with a bequest - the ownership of his beloved Tumbler Collection, writing “I can’t think of another person or collector who would keep the collection together … so you will get them.”

​We committed to Bob that the Tumbler Collection would never be sold or broken up and that we would share it online with Carnival and glass collectors through The Bob Smith Carnival Tumbler Museum. This "virtual" museum will amaze and fascinate all collectors, and spread the beauty of Carnival Glass tumblers. All thanks to the indomitable Bob Smith.​​Sadly Bob passed away in November 2017, but it gives us considerable comfort that he was able to see his Museum take shape. When we showed it to him, he wrote: "Absolutely Beautiful. I don't have enough words to tell you how pleased and happy with what you have done. That must have taken some time. After you have it ready for everybody, you are going to have emails galore. For myself, I just can't come up with all of the wonderful words it deserves." ​

​​We also get very excited about Pressed Glass from the late 1800s - early 1900s period, and we are developing a Glass Potpourri feature about it: there may even be a link to Carnival Glass (but that's not always essential). Check it out with this link to Glass Potpourri.
